Scale
Main Ingredients
- ¾ cup Panko crumbs
- 1 egg (beaten)
- 1 ½ pounds ground turkey
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- ½ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes (drained and chopped)
- 6 ounces goat cheese (softened)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the Panko crumbs, beaten egg, ground turkey, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into 6 evenly sized patties. Place the patties on a plate or tray and refrigerate them for at least one hour to help them set and hold their shape during grilling.
- Grill Burgers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Cook the turkey patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are fully cooked through and have nice grill marks.
- Rest Burgers: Remove the cooked turkey burgers from the grill and tent them loosely with aluminum foil. Allow them to rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices and ensure tenderness.
- Add Goat Cheese: Spread the softened goat cheese generously on top of each turkey burger just before serving. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Refrigerating the patties before grilling helps them hold together and develop better texture.
- Ensure the internal temperature of the turkey burgers reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Use softened goat cheese for easy spreading and enhanced creaminess.
- Sun-dried tomatoes add a tangy sweetness and depth of flavor to the turkey patties.
- Serve with your choice of buns, lettuce, or additional toppings for a complete meal.
